Description

Crataegus, commonly called Hawthorn or May trees are ideal small trees, well suited to urban, windy or exposed gardens. Crataegus laevigata Rosea Pleno is smothered in double, rose pink flowers in spring.

The blossom is followed in autumn by bright red berries that are harmful to humans, although they are gobbled up greedily by the birds. Crataegus are perfect trees for attracting wildlife including pollinating insects.

They can be used as specimen trees or as part of a flowering boundary hedge where their thorns deter intruders. These tough trees will cope with most soils and growing conditions, even thriving in coastal areas where they shrug off salt-laden winds.

If it is not possible to plant because soil is waterlogged or frozen keep the trees somewhere frost free and airy. Keep the roots just moist by storing them in damp compost or if outside conditions allow, heel the trees in to a patch of bare ground until you’re ready to plant them into their permanent positions.
